Bingo. Sort of like the assault weapons ban enacted in 1994 and repealed on 2004.

I’m not short I’m a MEDIUM sized boy

“That’s not how you beat a senator.” [twirls cane]

Let’s get the guy that punched Richard Spencer. Or the other guy that also punched Richard Spencer. Or both. That’d be fine. I’d never, ever, ever stop looping that .gif.

FYI, I recognize most of you trash trolls that usually infest the greys (looking at you BirdofPrey) and I will simply dismiss you.

It is an utterly lost cause and something, frankly, we should learn to treat like a weather event.

Really? Because I thought it meant that the “good guy” made no difference at all, unless the bad guy was the good guy by shooting himself.

I’ll make the same argument I made yesterday.

Remember when the U.S. government made smoking a public health issue? It’s taken nearly 50 years, but the levels of smoking in the country have plummeted.

We can still outlaw the manufacture of new weapons, and destroy any seized by the police at crime scenes or during regular arrests. If the state has knowledge that an individual owns a firearm, that person should be punitively fined until he or she hands it in. The policy doesn’t have to be perfect, but I’d consider…

My old boss’s boss in Atlanta was literallyrunning for city council in his town specificallyto privatize fire and EMT.

Back in February, this piece for WaPo really pissed me off.

In the battle of Apathy vs Stupidity, stupidity is winning and it ain’t even close.

I really hate how the reception that Clinton got to her book is the reaction that Brazile deserves, but won’t get: “You’re trying to pass the blame! GO AWAY! Your book is not news!”

This sort of self justification overreach, “If it were a white man...” is what causes this shit. You’re a bad person.

In Arizona, a private fire department sent a $20,000 bill to a family for putting out their house. But they were the second fire department to arrive. All they did was show up and hit a few hot spots.

A lot of the firebrands of the older movements are dying off, especially the titans of the 50s and 60s movements, and those that remain are tired and worn out of fighting the same battles for decades, and the younger generation just isn’t doing anything. Some of them are, and the ones that are are doing great, but too…

I wonder at the use of technology and PR - why does our side suck at it? People stream all the time, where are our YouTube ads? Where are our pop up banners? Where’s our viral sensations? Do we have a large, thirsty, and active Reddit sub-group? We have liberal-minded types who stay at home and watch the local news…

After decades in community action, all I can say is that right now is “the resistance” dead in the water. A lot of the long term campaigners, like myself, are burned out and struggling to find new ways of saying the same old song, and -while there have been some smart and motivated younger voters- most of the younger…
